Uh. Anyone wanna help out with an open mic night tomorrow? I don't think I'll be making it. Which is probably bad, since it's my bar. Don't worry though, the barmaid is really great. I'm sure she'll...make drinks. She just might need some help with everything else.

...I can pay you in ice cream? A-and it's for a good cause!

(OoC: Yosuke has been planning an open mic night fundraiser to re-open The Cat's Eye after Rain's and Fai's departures. He sent an ad in to the paper and everything...but he was abducted for round two of the Newcomer Hunt and he's not feeling up to playing host yet. Possibility of a permanent job at the bar for anyone who responds and works out alright!)

Her smile becomes completely relieved and she hugs him suddenly.

"I am so glad. For a minute, I was thinking they had hurt inside your head too, made you fprget like an old man."

She perches next to him, doing her best not to injure him more.

"You know, there was an old man like that down the street where I used to live. Such a nixe man. He gave me a sweet once, wrapped in gold paper. Such a lovely sweet, all pink powder and sugar. And at christmas, he saved and bought me and Azelma chocolate mice. Thought we were his daughtees, you see. And he used to give us pocket money, as often as we asked. And we asked every day, two, three times a day till his money ran out and he was turned out. but it was good whilst it lasted."

She chatters, trying to take Yosuke's mind off his pain.

As usual, Eponine's stories are nothing short of horrifying. The medication is a blessing in that sense. The background noise of Eponine talking is pleasant, but try as he might, Yosuke can't entirely focus on her. He blinks, a bit dazed. Still, it's nice to have her there. Nice to have someone familiar around. He's not very fond of being alone under the best circumstances, and these circumstances are far from the best.

The hug is nice too. Girls at home are always so funny about touching him at all, but Eponine does it naturally. It's charming. Suddenly, he remembers the promise he made her the last time he saw her.

"I didn't forgeddaboud swimming."

She stops short in the middle of some other horrifying-that-she-supposes-is-sweet story about when she and her sister were young girls, and smiles at Yosuke.

"Swimming, M'sieur Yosuke?" She laughs. "There will be time when you are better. But perhaps I do not want to make you sick today so we shall wait, yes?"

She strokes his hair. "Would you prefer singing? Or more stories?"

Yosuke laughs, even though that kind of hurts. The hair stroking is definitely nice, along with the sound of his name coming from Eponine's mouth that way. He thought he might have imagined it the first time, but this time he's sure he heard it. It's intimate, and sweet, and nice.

Her mention of singing reminds him of when they first met. She sang that song to him then, some kind of strange lullaby that involved poking his face a bit. He hadn't minded then, and as long as she avoided the sorest spots he wouldn't mind it now, either.

"Mm, 'nother day."

He agrees, meaning to ask her for a song as well. BUt his tongue feels too heavy, and it doesn't seem worth it. He'll just let her do what she likes. As long as she's around, that's good enough.

She continues to stroke his hair, bending now so that she is almost lay next to Yosuke, her mouth near her ear.

"Monsieur, there is another day. You shall get better. You will be okay."

She takes his better hand with her spare, and begins to stroke, softly.

"You must sleep, though. Sleep and eat and do not worry."

Eponine begins to sing gently, keeping her voice barely above a whisper.

He doesn't want to sleep, not when there's a girl petting his hair and touching his hand and singing to him. But the medication does make him feel a bit drifty. More than a bit, in fact. So he simply makes a pleased sound at Eponine, something like a little hum, to let her know that he appreciates it.
